I'd love to send Einstein's Theory of General Relativity to Newton. Or maybe a whole textbook on modern physics but that would probably not be deep enough for him. But I'd really love to see what he could have done with modern physics.
Maybe Friedrich Gauss could make better use of that, dude was a real genius.
Some people are just one hit wonders, so it could be fΓΌr nothing. But it would be worth a try.
It's definitively better than to give the idea of nuclear fission to Henry Cavendish in 1766. Right now we live in the sweet spot between discovery and... broad practical application.
